Physical activity plays an important role in improving health and vitality, particularly for individuals who face health challenges such as diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease. This course, which is based on a chapter from ACE’s Clinical Exercise Specialist Manual, will provide you with the tools necessary for conducting proper pre-exercise screening and assessment. Such an evaluation process is particularly important when working with midlife/older clients. The course also includes important forms (available as PDF downloads) which you can use in your personal training practice:

ACE Health History Inventory (long version)

Physician Referral for Client to Exercise

Authorization for Release of Protected Health Information

Course Objectives

Outline the benefits of conducting a pre-activity health history and screening, particularly for individuals who face health challenges.

User Comments: some of the information in the table 2.2 ACSM's Recommended Clinical Exercise Test was sort of confusing to pick apart in the table (I understand the concept but their delivery is sort of old school table and not that easy to read).

Thank you!

User Comments: Since I was just recently certified, this course was not 'necessary' -- the group fitness manual covered the information so I'm not sure how to rate [if info was new then I would rate this high and useful]

User Comments: Did not find this very specific. The course materials are 21 pages long and could probably comprised to half of that, especially when already holding a current Personal Trainer Certification.

Thank you!
